Copilot CLI 1.0.41-1: Smoother Search & Extension Fixes
Copilot CLI 1.0.41-1 brings searchable slash commands, memory scope confirmation, and fixes for extension loading in prompt mode plus SSH plugin URL handling.
TL;DR
- Slash command picker now searches descriptions with character highlighting
- Memory tool shows scope confirmation (repo or user level)
- Extensions load properly in prompt mode with new env flag
- Fixed spurious XML tags in assistant responses and SSH plugin URLs
New
- Slash command search improvements — picker now searches command descriptions and underlines matched characters for faster navigation
- Memory scope visibility — confirmation prompt displays whether memory is stored at repository or user scope
Improved
- SQL todo timeline entries now display accurately for INSERT OR IGNORE/REPLACE and blocked status updates
- Streaming text and shimmer animations remain smooth on slow or busy hosts
Fixed
- Extension loading in prompt mode — user extensions now load by default; project extensions and management tools require
GITHUB_COPILOT_PROMPT_MODE_EXTENSIONS=true - Assistant response cleanup — removed spurious system notification XML tags from responses
- Large output guidance — correctly references the configured grep tool name
- Git SSH plugin URLs — adding a plugin marketplace via SSH (e.g.
git@github.com:owner/repo) now works as expected
Update via: gh copilot update or download from GitHub releases
